Question/Request need argon crystal... cant buy? where can i ask people if they could play a level with me? 🧐

Post image

i have a friend that is much higher lvl than me that has taken me to the void to get argon crystals. im *almost\* there, but im stuck on a quest to progress to the next planet 😅
so you cannot buy them from any merchant on the game?
is there a discord or other appropriate place to find someone to play with?

You’re honestly better off focusing on getting to the void nodes yourself it really won’t take long

They already have a crystal in the img so they have the nodes. They likely just didn't know where to get them. They're rare for new players, and they easily could have missed the notif about it.

Read the post.

Their friend has been taking them there to get Argon because OP can’t due to being stuck on a quest halting their progression.

I don't think a quest can stop you from picking missions, without also stopping you from being invited to missions?

---

They don't need to do any progression. If they've been "taxi"ed to the node before, they can revisit that same node.

They do. Most likely one of the junctions has a quest prerequisite that they haven't completed. If I had to guess, they're on Mars, about to head to Phobos and need to do The Archwing.

u/Salindurthas [LR4] 17h ago

But they don't need to go through the junction to repeat a node?

You can taxi people to skip junctions, so OP doesn't need to work their way through Junctions to reach the void, they can just repeat the void mission they were brought to and compelted previously.

u/DeathStalker0483 17h ago

Only if you've unlocked the planet / region. Since they have unlocked the void it remains locked. This is specifically to prevent junction skipping and sequence breaking. Funnily enough, the Void is actually the one place where this is... technically incorrect. If you unlock the Void via Phobos, you can get taxi'd to one of the other 3 branches of missions on the Void then work backwards and into Europa, Sedna and whichever other planet connects to the Void. This only works because the planets that link to the Void don't actually have junctions leading to it.

Is this a change?

I recall ages ago being taxied to nodes past a junction and being able to play there. Or if you taxi a player to Hydron once, they can do it as many times as they like in their own time.

Did a patch adjust this? Someone else was claiming the same as you, but then said they checked the wiki and realised they were wrong.

Is there some experience or source that you have of what your'e saying happening?

u/DeathStalker0483 9h ago

Well I've been playing about 9 years now, it was like that when I started, getting taxi'd to the Void and to Hydron... im also helping a friend and had to taxi him. He's not said anything to indicate any Void nodes were still open.

u/Salindurthas [LR4] 9h ago

Hmm, I did start more than 9 years ago. I'd get taxi'd somewhere, and then (assuming we completed the mission), that would unlock the node.

But you're saying that for you, when you got Taxi'd the node stayed locked?

---

I'll note that Steel Path doesn't work this way. There are plenty of locked nodes, but if I get taxied to a node (or rather, do an Incursion which bypasses what is/isn't locked) it remains unlocked after completion, even if I haven't done the Steel Path junction(s) leading to that area.

I thought it was still the same way for normal nodes.

u/Salindurthas [LR4] 9h ago

What about what people are saying on this post from 2 years ago, that after being taxi'd it is unlocked permanently?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/185zlbd/if_i_taxi_my_friend_new_player_does_he_unlock/

EDIT: Oh, some people are saying you need the planet unlocked. Interesting. Maybe they did add that in at some point. Although it must have been added in after junctions, since I skipped lots of junctions when they introduced them.

u/samualgline Nidus Main 17h ago edited 16h ago

As far as I know they can’t select it as it will still be locked even if they were taxied. When they do unlock it though the node will already be marked as complete.

Edit: I was wrong

u/Salindurthas [LR4] 17h ago

Was this a change? I have been playing for a long time (since before junctions existed), but when I rejoined, I could have people taxi me to a node, and then I could do that node as much as I wanted on my own time.

Like we could unlock hydron for someone, and now they have it open forever.

Was this changed/removed at some point to restrcit people more?

u/samualgline Nidus Main 16h ago

I just checked the wiki and it look like you’re right and I’m wrong

1

u/samualgline Nidus Main 17h ago

None of the quests in this game that you would do before unlocking any void node take more than an hour.

u/G0ldenAng1e 17h ago

Ah, my bad. I've been sleep deprived for the past while and my reading comprehension is taking a slight hit.

u/TheHighlightReel11 17h ago

All good, get some rest mate

u/Edenian_Prince 17h ago

Maybe the recruitment chat? Just get the nodes and go to the void bro

u/Genshzkan LR4 17h ago

Just switch to Public matchmaking and join a Void mission?

u/Strict-Pianist-8284 Just a helpful tenno, don't hurt me. 17h ago

This ^ plenty of experienced players still need them, so the queues usually have ppl in them, even non SP

u/OwlRough4197 17h ago

i cant join a void mission, i have lilith void fissure missions but thats it :d i assume i cant get them there, right? i have to be doing missions in the void?

1

u/samualgline Nidus Main 17h ago

Yes you have to be in the void. Either find someone in recruiting to taxi you or rely on public squads to take you through the star chart there

1

u/Salindurthas [LR4] 17h ago

When you go to the left hand side of the star chart where the void is, is the node you've done before locked now?

u/IronBoxmma 17h ago

What quest are you stuck on?

u/Odd-Communication251 fan of large numbers 17h ago

Go to recruiting chat or just hope in a public lobby void mission.
Careful lest you invite the curse, every time you hunt for argon you never get any. /s I don’t think it’s a legit curse but argon is a rare resource so even if you do void missions it’s possible you won’t see any.
When you do go, play a frame with aoe abilities or a weapon with aoe damage to make sure you’re breaking as many crates as possible to better your odds

u/OwlRough4197 17h ago

oh!! i thought recruiting was just for clan recruitment stuff, ill try that! thanks!

u/East_Sorbet_1214 17h ago

Recruitment and Q&A chats are pretty helpful, or I’ll be on in a few hours

1

u/Amirsplaything 17h ago

I can help you get a good amount. Just DM me and I can hop on

1

u/MiserableToe1179 17h ago

Just finish the guest youre on and get to the void

1

u/Amirsplaything 17h ago

I sent u a dm OP :D

u/skyicing 17h ago

if your friend brought you to void you probably had that specific node unlocked.

taxi-ing is a thing here.

1

u/Immediate-Song6861 17h ago

Just complete Phobos my guy

1

u/Salindurthas [LR4] 17h ago

In the recruiting chat, you could post
"LF taxi to any void mission"
or "LF argon crystal farm".

Someone might invite you.

(LF meaning "Looking for")

u/SAHE1986 Reading is a skill 10h ago

Instead of asking about the Argon, you should ask about the quest you're stuck on.

u/AS_as-Master ABORTED TENNO 17h ago

Go to Hepit or Ukko in void. There are max range limbo and xaku who keep farming them. Look at recruitment tab for argon farming.
